Expert Solution
Introduction

Here is the required answer.

Explanation

Option A is the correct choice for the reasons mentioned below.

Option B is correct. The Indian market saw flooding of cheap, machine-made, and mass-produced British textiles due to the Industrial Revolution.  Expensive, handwoven Indian textiles could not compete with British fabrics.

Option C is correct. The British put huge taxes on exporting Indian textiles. At the same time, they reduced the taxes on the British materials imported into India. The Indian products suffered immensely as their exports drastically reduced.

Option D is correct. The British banned the Indian textiles and started promoting indigo and raw cotton as ancillaries to the British Industry. As the Indian industries faced ruin, the British started filling the Indian market with their textiles.
